Rezoning is the process of changing the zone that applies to a property or parcel of land.

To apply a new zone, the Strathcona and Garneau Area Redevelopment Plans are proposed to be amended.

The land areas along Whyte Avenue and east of 106 Street are currently zoned (CB2) General Business Zone which allow the opportunity for a range of retail, commercial and office uses and the land areas west of 106 Street and north of 81 Avenue are zoned (DC2) Site Specific Development Control Provision.

A draft copy of Southpark’s (DC1) can be accessed here and the proposed rezoning map is available here.
